SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Some colorful ducks made their annual appearance at Syracuse's Inner Harbor Saturday. The ninth annual Duck Race to End Racism kicked off at noon.

The day included three different duck races, one for corporate sponsors, one for third grade students and one for community members.

Community Wide Dialogue, a program of InterFaith Works, organizes the event. They want to keep the community from "ducking" the issue of racism.

"We want a day when we can show the community what it will be like when the world has ended racism. If you look around this day there are people here from all over the world, with different skin colors, working together, playing together," said Beth Broadway, InterFaith Works CNY Executive Director.

Time Warner Cable the parent company of YNN is a proud sponsor of the Duck Race to End Racism.
